The Cottonwood Bed & Breakfast and Gallery Review

This delightful bed-and-breakfast has a distinctly artsy orientation. Innkeeper Deborah Donaldson has decorated the common areas and bedrooms as a gallery of regional art, much of which is for sale. The Cottonwood is composed of two main buildings and a carriage house. The 1908 neocolonial two-story bungalow has five guest rooms, furnished largely in Arts and Crafts style. Each room is unique: The Rosa Room has a queen and single beds to accommodate small families, along with children's books and stuffed animals, while the Blanca Room weds a nice airy white decor with Art Deco motifs. Bathrooms in three of these units have showers only; the others have shower/tub combos. Adjacent to the bungalow is a 1920s fourplex with four apartment suites, each with a kitchen and claw-foot tub with shower conversion. These are perfect for families with children or pets. Located between the two main buildings is a cobblestone courtyard with a hot tub, and the carriage house, perfect for those who prefer being off by themselves. Full homemade breakfasts often feature regional specialties, such as fresh fruit crepes with Mexican chocolate and whipped cream. Smoking is not permitted.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
